On Monday, January 23 at the Goodman Theatre opening of David Mamet’s Race, the new artistic director of Remy Bumppo Theatre Company, Nick Sandys, stood side-by-side with his predecessor, Timothy Douglas, both tall and trim and obviously with warm regards towards each other.

The Dueling Critics, Kelly Kleiman and Jonathan Abrabanel, joined Eight Forty-Eight to discuss the departure of Timothy Douglas as artistic director of Chicago's Remy Bumppo Theatre Company after less than a year on the job.

The recent Bertrand Goldberg retrospective was a great opportunity to get re-acquainted with a familiar and fantastic part of Chicago's skyline - Marina City. My favorite part was this companion exhibit - nothing like a museum-sanctioned snoop around someone else's living space!

The Chicago Sun-Times recently reported that Zion city officials have discussed selling City Hall. Eight Forty-Eight asked listeners what they would sell to make some extra dough. When times are tough, what would you put on the auction block?
